ADT and Tyco
ADT is a publicly traded company. Previously, ADT and two other businesses all operated under Tyco. In 2011, the Tyco International board of directors divided the business into separately owned companies. The three independent, publicly traded companies created in the separation are:
– Tyco Fire and Security
– Flow Control
The decision was announced after the board of directors evaluated each company's opportunities and decided that each could operate and thrive in its respective industry.
ADT is the standalone residential and small business security company that formed as part of the Tyco split. It is North America's leading provider of monitored alarm systems and serves more than 6 million homes and small businesses in the United States and Canada.
ADT also provides interactive home services including home automation. The security provider is involved with multiple aspects of the customer experience – from sales to installation to alarm monitoring.
After the official separation, Naren Gursahaney became ADT's new Chief Executive Officer and the company was officially renamed The ADT Corporation.
As North America's security monitoring leader for residential and business customers, ADT continues to maintain a high profile in the world of security news.
Tyco Fire and Security
Tyco Fire and Security is the largest global provider of fire and security products serving industrial, governmental, commercial and retail customers. In its new role, the company will focus on the commercial aspect of operations in both the North American and international markets.
Flow Control
The third business that was involved in the split was Flow Control. The company supplies flow managment and water and environmental systems, as well as thermal control solutions, to the global market. Flow Control merged with Pentair Inc., an international industrial manufacturing company, and was renamed Pentair Ltd.

Hi and welcome to Martelle, a husband and wife professional Nottingham Wedding Photographer team based in Hucknall. We know there are lots of photographers in the Nottingham area, each offering a great service, but we feel that our creative wedding photography, coupled with our caring, fun and relaxed personalities sets us apart from the others. We are a team and yes, we are married to each other – they say you shouldn't mix business and pleasure but to be honest it really works with us and we love working together!
We are a professional team and are fully qualified and fully insured, with a wealth of experience. By hiring a professional, you don't have to worry about the weather. We enjoy using the weather and it brings out the creativity in us. Be it a clear blue summer sky or a rainy shower we think you'll have beautiful photos to treasure for a lifetime.
Evening dusk and low light wedding photography is a speciality, and during this days with less daylight hours and longer nights our couples can take advantage of earlier sunsets and dramatic low light portraits.
For most of your wedding day, we shoot in a documentary/reportage style where we capture natural and unposed moments as they happen. We usually start in the morning with the bride during her preparations and will mix this style of documentary coverage in with some storytelling or editorial photos of the details. For us these images are very important and they are very often overlooked by other photographers.
Throughout your wedding day, we capture moments like this during wedding speeches or guests mingling during the drinks reception. For us this timeless and documentary style coverage is perfect for telling the story of your special day.
In our experience it's the fleeting moments and the connections made between people that you'll look back on and treasure for a lifetime.
We all know that the British Weather is unpredictable and a topic of conversation for many. No matter what anybody does they cannot control the weather - it will simply be what it will be.
Our approach, as professionals, is to expect the unexpected and be prepared. In honesty we love to get creative with cloudy and stormy skies as well as bright sunshine and in case of rain we always have several umbrellas we can use to help keep the rain off.
Our cameras are waterproof, we will dry out and the weather has never stopped us yet, nor will it. We love to get creative in the rain and we love to get some great moody skies if you'll let us.... we will keep you as dry as possible and get some great shots!
One of the things that makes us different to other photographers is our ability to work in low light situations. We love to create some dynamic images using off camera flash and sparklers (we provide the sparklers.)
We ask our couples if they want some photos of sparklers and/or the brolly shot. If you say yes - we will get it. We get very creative with sparklers and they look stunning. This image is our most requested shot! It looks stunning on canvas - you really should see it!
We usually cover the whole of your day, from preparations in the morning to the speeches after the wedding breakfast and on until the first dance and the party. If you don't want a full day package though we do offer a part day package as well.
We have a selection of full day collections including a USB only package or an album package. These are our Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond and Deluxe Collections. Our USBs are bespoke and a diamente heart shape and they come its very own specially designed box. For our albums we only use the finest album makers and these are built around your choice of images. We really do recommend that you see our albums as we have a variety to choose from.
All your photos are available to view online in a gallery and they are password protected. More information can be found on our prices page.
We often hear back from our couples after they have received their images, slideshow and album. From the moment we meet, and become your photographers, we welcome you into the Martelle Family. We develop a friendship that lasts. We are much more than photographers and have been described as such by many a bride.
We love to hear nice things and we thrive on them. To see for yourself what some of our couples have said head over to our Kind Words page.

2016 Summer Reading List for Development Directors
Vol. 14 No. 10
We wish everyone at the Development Office and your entire school a sun-filled summer full of relaxation—and professional development. Sure, the classrooms might be empty of students (for now), but your work is rarely done. The temporary breather offers you some time to catch up on that list of books you promised yourself you'd get to this year—and we've got a few suggestions for you to tackle while catching some rays.
Highlights From the 2016 Annual Report on Philanthropy
Vol. 14 No. 10
Every year, the Giving USA Foundation publishes one of the most highly regarded reports on philanthropic giving in the United States, offering organizations of all sizes and missions a benchmark set of data against which to evaluate their own advancement efforts. While every school's Development Office faces unique challenges in donor cultivation, the Annual Report on Philanthropy offers interesting food for thought when considering the broader giving landscape.
"Fair" Admission Practices: Opportunity Versus Outcome
Vol. 14 No. 10
When it comes to correcting inequality in the United States—for education and beyond—there are two philosophies: Fairness of opportunity and fairness of outcome. Private school Admission Offices often adopt one or the other mindsets, if the school's mission calls for increased diversity within the student community. While either strategy is "fair" to applicants in its way, both have hidden flaws that may undermine your efforts for developing a more diverse student pool.
2016 Summer Reading List for Admission Directors
Vol. 14 No. 10
With students out for the summer, private schools across the country have an opportunity to breathe and prepare for the coming fall semester. With that in mind, we asked ISM Consultants to offer up their own summer reading list for you this year. We won't quiz you, but you will improve if you apply the strategies and research found in these books.
Don't "Raise Your Salary": Defending Your Pay as a Development Director
Vol. 14 No. 9
At private schools and other nonprofit organizations with Development Offices, there can be an expectation—written or understood—that a Development Director must raise a certain amount of money above his or her salary to be considered "good" or "worth the school's investment." This logic is toxic and encourages a flawed approach to fundraising that can fundamentally interfere with your ability to fulfill your job.
Three Steps to Scoring Profitable Items for Your School's Auction
Vol. 14 No. 9
School auctions can be a fun—and profitable!—way to connect with donors while raising money for school programs. However, not all auction items are created equal, either in terms of monetary value or their popularity with donors. So this month, we'd like to offer a three-step process to securing the items your school community truly wants to bid on.

On the occasion of turning 8, my middle man had one request: that we "do something cool."
I thought long and I thought hard and then it came to me…. rollerskating.
My boys have never been, but I felt pretty certain that flashing lights, loud music and the entirely new sensation of gliding across a smooth floor would qualify as not just cool, but super cool to my little rocker.
My goodness it brought back so many great memories.
It turns out that the snack bar is still serving up nasty nachos, Sweet Tarts and "Soda Suicide" (all the flavors mixed together).
The Limbo and the Hokey Pokey are still going strong.
The Village People are still singing "YMCA," Jenny's number is still 867-5309 and that poor sap is still in love with "Jessie's Girl."
There's still that clump of giggling girls huddled at the dark end of the rink.
There's still that pack of boys emptying their pockets of change into the pinball machine.
It's nice to know that there are little pockets in the world where time ceases to exist.
The Blue Yonder boys did just great for their first experience on wheels. They were terribly frustrated at the start. There were tears. As it turns out, rollerskating is a lot harder than it looks. By the end of our time though, they were all going strong and already asking when we can go back.
And y'all? Just so we're clear? This mama's still got it! I can still spin around and skate backwards, much to the complete astonishment of my men. I think that if they'd played "Material Girl" or "Girls just Wanna Have Fun" I might have even been able to throw down a few of my old dance moves. Thankfully my boys are net yet horrified by this sort of thing. I'm sure it's only a matter of time. Until then though, you can find me doing couples skates with the cutest boys at the rink.

Our wedding: dessertsWednesday, July 03, 2013
For our wedding, we served the most delicious strawberry cake frosted with a buttercream icing. I showed the bakery (Tea Cup Bakery) a picture of what I had in mind and they matched it to a tee. I knew from the start that I wanted a small wedding cake to serve with an assortment of other desserts. We tossed around a few ideas, but ultimately we settled on six golden brown cream cheese pound cakes. They were a labor of love by my mom, great-aunt, and my grandfather's wife. I didn't get a chance to eat a slice of pound cake at the wedding, but just knowing that they were made by those three ladies made them extra special. We served fresh strawberries with the cakes for guests to top their slices with if they wished.
I love that more and more weddings are straying from the traditional wedding cake and serving desserts that are special to them instead. For us, cream cheese pound cakes were a familiar part of childhood, not to mention, a staple in the South.
Did you stray from the traditional tiered wedding cake and serve other desserts at your wedding? I'd love to hear.

Association touts LTC industry's status as 10th largest U.S. employer
The long-term care industry is the 10th largest employer in the United States, ahead of other major industries including food retail, merchandise retail and the military, according to a new report.
Annually, the long-term care industry generates $529 billion in total economic activity, supports and creates over 5.4 million jobs and generates $60 billion in tax revenue, according to a report released Thursday by the American Health Care Association and the National Center for Assisted Living. The report also says that long-term care contributes 3.7% of the nation's gross domestic product.
Providers worry, however, that the government's currently discussed attempts to cut spending and lower the deficit would limit the industry's outlook in the long term. The federal government now gives states $45 billion in Medicaid funds per year.
"If the states cut Medicaid, that will have direct and drastic implications on not only our profession, but more importantly our ability to serve the greatest of our country," said Mark Parkinson, President and CEO of AHCA/NCAL. "The potential for increased job growth – a priority of every lawmaker in this country – is huge."

Some stroke survivors say they are disregarding GP advice on secondary prevention medications, such as statins, with some patients stopping their medication completely after only one or two consultations, according to a study of an online stroke forum led by Queen Mary University of London (QMUL).
The researchers say that GPs should make patients aware of multiple treatment options and the potential need for several changes in medication, and actively follow-up with their patients when providing advice or changing treatment due to side effects, such as aches and tiredness.
Three in 10 stroke survivors will go on to have a further stroke, which causes greater disability or even death. Secondary prevention medications, including antihypertensives, blood thinning and lipid lowering agents, such as statins, can reduce risk of stroke recurrence by up to 75 per cent. However, patients' persistence with these medications decreases over time because a minority of people experience side effects, which are mild in most cases.
The analysis, involving University of Cambridge and published in the journal Family Practice, was performed on the archives from TalkStroke, a UK online forum hosted by the Stroke Association. The forum is used by patients with stroke and their carers, and generated 21,596 posts during 2004-2011. 50 participants were found to discuss GP advice on prevention medications in 43 discussion threads.
The side effects of secondary prevention medications, and statins in particular, were found to cause anxiety and resentment in some patients, and their concerns were not always addressed by GPs. While most advice was followed, GP advice was sometimes disregarded when related to dealing with statin side effects. Some patients even stopped the medication after just one or two attempts by the GP to adjust statin treatment.
Lead Researcher and NIHR Academic Clinical Lecturer Dr Anna De Simoni from QMUL said: "I am a GP and these findings have changed my own practice when I start patients on statins and when they consult about side effects.
"Given the variety of cholesterol lowering treatments and possible approaches to manage statin intolerant patients, I was surprised to see that patients seemingly lost hope after only one or two contacts with their GPs, unaware that a better regimen may have been available or that their GP would have been able to carry out another change in medication.
"In my practice I am now advising patients that multiple treatment options are available, and several attempts may be required before a suitable treatment is found. It is also important to pro-actively invite them to seek help if side effects are experienced and don't improve."
The researchers say that advising patients to persist with statins side effects to prevent further strokes could result in the patient stopping the medication. Following up patients (even by telephone) after any change in treatment or advice could ensure issues are resolved.
The study found that forum participants did not make incorrect or misleading statements, but instead provided appropriate peer support, underlined the central role of GPs in managing medications, and their shared-decision making with clinicians was improved by online peer-to-peer discussions. The forum's 'super-users', who had a high number of connections with other participants, played an important role in this.
Considering the ease, low-cost and advantages of obtaining patient information from online fora, the researchers say that more attention could be paid into studying health issues using data from online communities. This could allow collection of data from participants who might not take part in traditional research studies and from a wider geographical location.
The study is limited in that the data are old (2004-2011), the identity of users could not be verified, the forum was moderated, and older patients might be under-represented.

According to BrokerCheck records the CEO and Chief Compliance Officer of Firm Financial West, Gene Valentine (Valentine) has been subject to one customer complaint, three tax liens, and one regulatory action. According to records kept by The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) Valentine has been accused by FINRA of failing to have supervisory procedures for due diligence on private placement offerings.
FINRA alleged that from October 1, 2008, through June 30, 2015, Financial West's written supervisory procedures failed to address the firm's due diligence process for private placements. FINRA found that Financial West's written supervisory procedures did not describe the process for approving private placement offerings and did not describe how or when to evaluate private placement offerings. FINRA also found that the firm failed to consistently follow the written procedures that did exist such as failing to document the review as described in the procedures.

There is something to the notion that many of our lasting food loves are an attempt to recreate our past. My unwavering devotion to brownies is connected to those days when I would sit on a stool in Aunt Rose's kitchen and watch her make the best brownies of my life, rich with dark chocolate and walnuts, more like cake than fudge, yet not cake.
The kitchen would fill with the soul-satisfying aroma of baking brownies. I would attempt to busy myself elsewhere in the house, all the while awaiting the unforgettable moment of re-entering the kitchen and finding the big glass jar on the counter filled to the very top with Aunt Rose's brownies.

Preview: Super Rugby, Round Four - Part Two
The Crusaders' only loss in their last 20 Super Rugby outings was against the Hurricanes in Wellington last year.
However, the Hurricanes had to fly from Wellington to Pretoria (13400km), then from Pretoria to Buenos Aires (8130km), before heading home to Wellington (9980km).
After losing 19-21 to the Bulls in Pretoria, they beat the Jaguares 34-9 in Buenos Aires.
It will take something special to overcome the defending champions after such a schedule.
After that, we head across the Tasman Sea where the Reds host the Bulls, before a long trip across the Indian Ocean where the Sharks face the Sunwolves in Durban.
That is followed by the Lions against the Blues in Johannesburg. The weekend's schedule is concluded when the Jaguares host the Waratahs in Buenos Aires.
We look at the Saturday matches!
Saturday, March 10:
Hurricanes v Crusaders
(Westpac Stadium, Wellington – Kick-off: 19.35; 06.35 GMT)
The spotlight has been shining on brightly on Hurricanes flyhalf Beauden Barrett.
Not only is he just the 12th player to bring up 100 games for the Hurricanes, but pundits have suggested Barrett could be even better than All Black legend Dan Carter.
Barrett has been playing down the occasion and how quickly he has reached the milestone.
"I'm certainly proud of it but it's gone so quick," he said.
"I feel like I'm probably halfway through my career and I've had a good run of being injury free for a lot of it, hence why it's happened reasonably fast."
Barrett, 26, made his debut for the Hurricanes against the Cheetahs in 2011 as a substitute.
It is fitting that Barrett will get to bring up his 100th match in the very stadium where he helped lift the Super Rugby trophy when the side meets the Crusaders on Saturday.
"It will be a great occasion regardless of it being my 100th," he insisted.
"My focus is to go out there and play well for the team. Ultimately it's about winning on Saturday in front of our own fans in our first home game of the season, that's what I'm most excited about."
Crusaders assistant coach Ronan O'Gara was equally lavish with the praise, but was adamant that as a team the Crusaders can cope with the threat Barrett poses.
"You can have all the plans in the world for Beauden Barrett, but yet he could rip you apart, that's what he's good at," the former Irish flyhalf said.
"You've got to have a focus on him, but you've got to have a team focus.
"That's the strength of the Crusaders – they're very good on bigger picture stuff.
"We have a competitive squad, we have a hungry squad and we have a seriously hungry coach," he said.
"Sport is about what you can control and what we can control is our preparation for the Hurricanes. Whether it will be good enough we don't know but if it isn't you go back and retry the following week."
Recent results:
2017: Hurricanes won 31-22, Wellington
2017: Crusaders won 20-12, Christchurch
2016: Hurricanes won 35-10, Christchurch
2015: Crusaders won 35-18, Christchurch
2015: Hurricanes won 29-23, Wellington
Prediction: The Hurricanes have won seven of their last 10 games against the Crusaders, though only two of those 10 games were decided by double-digit margins. The Hurricanes have won their last four games at home against the Crusaders, previously they had won just two of 10 home games against them. The Crusaders will be looking to avoid back to back losses on the road in the regular season for the first time since May 2015. The Hurricanes have conceded just 15 points per game this campaign, the fewest of any team; the Rebels (18 points) are the only other team to have conceded fewer than 20 points per game. Julian Savea beat seven defenders last round, the equal second most of any player; the last time he made more in a single game was in Round Two, 2017 against the Rebels (eight). The Hurricanes are a real threat, but their travel schedule will count against them and the Crusaders could sneak ahead in the final quarter and win by 12 points.
Hurricanes: 15 Jordie Barrett, 14 Julian Savea, 13 Matt Proctor, 12 Ngani Laumape, 11 Ben Lam, 10 Beauden Barrett, 9 Thomas Perenara. 8 Gareth Evans, 7 Ardie Savea, 6 Brad Shields, 5 Sam Lousi, 4 Vaea Fifita, 3 Ben May, 2 Ricky Riccitelli, 1 Chris Eves.
Replacements: 16 Asafo Aumua, 17 Fraser Armstrong, 18 Marcel Renata, 19 Michael Fatialofa, 20 Blade Thompson, 21 Richard Judd, 22 Ihaia West, 23 Vince Aso.
Crusaders: 15 David Havili, 14 Seta Tamanivalu, 13 Jack Goodhue, 12 Ryan Crotty, 11 George Bridge, 10 Mitchell Hunt, 9 Bryn Hall, 8 Jordan Taufua, 7 Matt Todd, 6 Heiden Bedwell-Curtis, 5 Samuel Whitelock (captain), 4 Scott Barrett, 3 Michael Alaalatoa, 2 Codie Taylor, 1 Wyatt Crockett.

Reds v Bulls
(Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane – Kick-off: 18.45; 08.45 GMT; 10.45 SA Time)
The Bulls were brought back down to earth with a bang by the Lions last week, but it is with a real belief that they arrived in Brisbane this week.
Bulls coach John Mitchell admitted his team has a "long way" to go still – following a win over the Hurricanes to open their season and then last week' comprehensive loss.
"There are good fundamentals in place at this stage of the race," Mitchell said in Brisbane.
"We have not played in Brisbane since 2013, so it will be a new experience for most of the team.
"That should create some energy, but I have no doubt that the importance of a good start to our tour will also perk up the players," Mitchell said.
"We have done very well in certain areas of the game so far, but the reality is that our away record is poor. This is something we need to change if we want to become the team we want to be."
Reds assistant coach Tony McGahan confirmed that they are relying on the "new and improved" passing game of Samu Kerevi to shine – following his shift to inside centre.
There has always been a school of thought that Kerevi's best position may, in fact, be inside centre, despite the man himself "having previously said he prefers playing at No.13.
"We have a young group coming together and we are trying to find the best positions," McGahan said at Ballymore on Thursday.
"He's had a couple of weeks with Duncan and we will see where he fits.
"He has worked on his passing, he's keen to get the ball in hands and he's a great communicator.
"With the competition, we will see how he goes this week."
Reds coach Brad Thorn said that while the Bulls will be a "tough challenge", the team is looking forward to running out in front of their home fans again this weekend.
"Hopefully the team can go out and make everyone proud."
Recent results:
2016: Bulls won 41-22, Pretoria
2015: Bulls won 43-22, Pretoria
2013: Reds won 23-18, Brisbane
2012: Bulls won 61-8, Pretoria
2011: Reds won 39-30, Brisbane
Prediction: Each of the last 11 meetings between the Reds and Bulls has been won by the home team on the day; though, this will be the first meeting in Queensland since 2013. The Reds will be hunting for consecutive Super Rugby wins for the first time since May-June 2014. The Bulls have won just two of their last 19 games outside South Africa, with their last international win coming in Round 10, 2016. The Bulls have won 16 line-outs per game with a line-out success rate of 9 percent, the best of any team in either category this campaign. Lukhan Tui has crossed for a try once in each of his last two games at home for the Reds. There is a travel factor, but the Bulls should have just enough in the tank to sneak a late winner – by seven points or less.
Reds: 15 Aidan Toua, 14 Filipo Daugunu, 13 Chris Feauai-Sautia, 12 Samu Kerevi, 11 Eto Nabuli, 10 Jono Lance, 9 James Tuttle, 8 Caleb Timu, 7 Liam Wright, 6 Adam Korczyk, 5 Kane Douglas, 4 Izack Rodda, 3 Taniela Tupou, 2 Brandon Paenga-Amosa, 1 James Slipper (captain).
Replacements: 16 Alex Mafi, 17 JP Smith, 18 Sef Fa'agase, 19 Harry Hockings, 20 Angus Scott-Young, 21 Tate McDermott, 22 Hamish Stewart, 23 Duncan Paia'aua.
Bulls: 15 Warrick Gelant, 14 Travis Ismaiel, 13 Jesse Kriel, 12 Johnny Kotze, 11 Duncan Matthews, 10 Handre Pollard (captain), 9 Andre Warner, 8 Nick de Jager, 7 Hanro Liebenberg, 6 Roelof Smit, 5 Lodewyk de Jager, 4 Rudolph Snyman, 3 Frans van Wyk, 2 Jaco Visagie, 1 Pierre Schoeman.
Replacements: 16 Adriaan Strauss, 17 Lizo Gqoboka, 18 Trevor Nyakane, 19 Jason Jenkins, 20 Marco van Staden, 21 Embrose Papier, 22 Marnitz Boshoff, 23 Divan Rossouw.

Sharks v Sunwolves
(Kings Park, Durban – Kick-off: 15.05; 13.05 GMT; 22.05 Japan Time)
Most, if not all, teams start as favourites against the Sunwolves.
Injuries make the Japan franchise even more vulnerable.
However, the Sharks have been vulnerable themselves and after three weeks (which included a bye for the Durban-based outfit) they are still looking for their first win.
Utility back Lwazi Mvovo, who was dropped to the bench after two starts, said there was no underestimating the Sunwolves.
"They play a pretty expansive game," Mvovo said.
"Last year we had to dig in and play right to the end when we scored a few points in the last 15 minutes.
"They're a very good side, especially with the New Zealand influence in their coaching team.
"They're going to play and we're not underestimating their ability."
Sharks coach Robert du Preez was stating the obvious when he said last week's draw with the Waratahs was disappointing.
"As I said before, we are just lacking patience," the Sharks mentor said of his team's winless start to the season.
"We are on the cusp of playing a really good game.
"It is just a matter of time."
He said it is important they have a "really good game" before they head off on a tough four-match tour – that will see them face the Brumbies in Canberra, the Rebels in Melbourne, the Blues in Auckland and the Hurricanes in Napier.
Du Preez added that it is important for his team to build pressure by "putting the phases together".
Mvovo also spoke of moving forward and not getting hung up on the poor start to the season.
"While we can't change what's in the past, our attitude going forward is very important," Mvovo said.
He admits that the players have looked deep within and acknowledged that they must put their hands up.
Previous results:
2017: Sharks won 38-17, Singapore
2016: Sharks won 40-29, Durban
Prediction: The Sharks have won each of the previous two meetings between these teams, scoring no fewer than 38 points on each occasion. The Sharks are now winless in three games at home; the last time they went longer without a home win was a stretch of four defeats across the 2009 and 2010 campaigns. The Sunwolves are yet to win on the road in Super Rugby and have conceded 146 points in their last two games away from home. The Sunwolves are yet to lose a scrum on their own feed this campaign, one of just three teams yet to do so (Highlanders, Rebels). Robert du Preez has scored a try in each of his two games for the Sharks thus far, pulling in a points tally of 23 across those games. It might not be the margin most expect, but the Sharks should still win easily – by 15 points.
Sharks: 15 Curwin Bosch, 14 Sibusiso Nkosi, 13 Lukhanyo Am, 12 Andre Esterhuizen, 11 Makazole Mapimpi, 10 Robert du Preez, 9 Louis Schreuder, 8 Lubabalo Mtembu, 7 Jacques Vermeulen, 6 Wian Vosloo, 5 Stephan Lewies, 4 Ruan Botha (captain), 3 John-Hubert Meyer, 2 Armand van der Merwe/Mahlatse Ralepelle, 1 Tendai Mtawarira.
Replacements: 16 Armand van der Merwe/Mahlatse Ralepelle, 17 Juan Schoeman, 18 Ross Geldenhuys, 19 Gideon Koegelenberg, 20 Keegan Daniel, 21 Cameron Wright, 22 Marius Louw, 23 Lwazi Mvovo.
Sunwolves: 15 Kotaro Matsushima, 14 Lomano Lemeki, 13 Sione Teaupa, 12 Michael Little, 11 William Tupou, 10 Harumichi Tatekawa, 9 Keisuke Uchida, 8 Willem Britz (captain), 7 Yoshitaka Tokunaga, 6 Michael Leitch, 5 Grant Hattingh, 4 Kazuki Himeno, 3 Takuma Asahara, 2 Yusuke Niwai, 1 Craig Millar.
Replacements: 16 Atsushi Sakate, 17 Shintaro Ishihara, 18 Hencus van Wyk, 19 Wimpie van der Walt, 20 Pieter Labuschagne, 21 Yutaka Nagare, 22 Ryoto Nakamura, 23 Robbie Robinson.

Lions v Blues
(Ellis Park, Johannesburg – Kick-off: 17.15; 15.15 GMT; 04.15 NZ Time Sunday, March 11)
The Blues may have lost their first two games of the season, but the fact that they collected losing bonus points against the Highlanders (34-41) and the Chiefs (21-27) make it clear they are no pushovers.
In fact, they are a team loaded with All Blacks and individual stars.
That is why the Lions need to ensure they get their own game right.
Lions flank Cyle Brink said you never know what you will get from the New Zealand visitors.
"If it becomes a scrappy game, it will be a hard day at the office for us," Brink said.
"They are never an easy side to play.
"The best way for us to approach the game is to stick to our structures."
Blues coach Tana Umaga admitted his team is facing a tall order against a confident and settled Lions outfit.
"The Lions are a formidable team," Umaga said.
"We remember our last time here, two years ago, and we are keen to put that right," said Umaga said.
"They have scored a lot of tries this season off their line-out drive so we have worked hard on this aspect.
We need to be disciplined and not give them attacking chances from penalties although at the same time we need to be our usual aggressive selves at the breakdown.
"This [Ellis Park] is a magnificent stadium and conditions should be great, so if we can do well at set-piece, then we have plenty of attacking ability to enjoy the occasion."
Umaga said the travel delays were far from helpful but no excuse, while going with six forwards in the reserves is needed to cope with the altitude factor at Johannesburg.
Recent results:
2016: Lions won 43-5, Johannesburg
2015: Lions won 13-10, Albany
2014: Lions won 39-36, Johannesburg
2012: Blues won 25-3, Auckland
2011: Blues won 41-32, Johannesburg
Prediction: The Lions have won their last three games against the Blues, though they were defeated in their seven meetings prior. The Lions have won four of their last six games against New Zealand opposition; however, all but one of those games came in the post-season. The Blues have won only one of their last 10 games in South Africa, letting two half-time leads slip in that period. The Lions have scored eight tries on the back of a line-out win this season, only three other teams in the competition have scored more than eight tries overall (Crusaders, Rebels, Stormers). Melani Nanai has an average gain of 12 metres per carry this season, the best of any player (with a minimum of 10 carries). It will be tighter than most pundits expect, but when the travel factor and altitude kick in, in the final quarter, the Lions should ease ahead and win by about 16 points.
Lions: 15 Andries Coetzee, 14 Sylvian Mahuza, 13 Lionel Mapoe, 12 Rohan Janse van Rensburg, 11 Aphiwe Dyantyi, 10 Elton Jantjies, 9 Ross Cronje, 8 Warren Whiteley (captain), 7 Francois Mostert, 6 Cyle Brink, 5 Marvin Orie, 4 Andries Ferreira, 3 Ruan Dreyer, 2 Malcolm Marx, 1 Jacques van Rooyen.
Replacements: 16 Robbie Coetzee, 17 Dylan Smith, 18 Jacobus Adriaanse, 19 Lourens Erasmus, 20 Albertus Smith, 21 Ashlon Davids, 22 Harold Vorster, 23 Hacjivah Dayimani.
Blues: 15 Michael Collins, 14 Matt Duffie, 13 Rieko Ioane, 12 Sonny Bill Williams, 11 Melani Nanai, 10 Bryn Gatland, 9 Sam Nock, 8 Akira Ioane, 7 Antonio Kiri Kiri, 6 Jerome Kaino, 5 Gerard Cowley-Tuioti, 4 Patrick Tuipulotu, 3 Ofa Tu'ungafasi, 2 James Parsons (captain), 1 Alex Hodgman.

Jaguares v Waratahs
(Estadio José Amalfitani, Buenos Aires – Kick-off: 18.40; 21.40 GMT; 08.40, Sunday, March 11 AEDT)
The Waratahs are looking to break a seven-game winless streak overseas.
It has been 88 weeks since the Waratahs last won a match abroad, with their last successful outing coming against the Sunwolves in July 2016.
Since that 57-12 victory, the Waratahs have lost on the road to the Blues, Lions, Sharks, Hurricanes, Highlanders and the Chiefs, to go with last week's draw in Durban.
However, the Tahs are up against a team desperate to break their own duck – having lost all three their matches this season – against the Stormers and Lions in South Africa, as well as the Hurricanes in Buenos Aires.
Prop Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro said the key will be the set pieces and defence.
"We are a team that never gives up," Chaparro said.
It will be the Waratahs' first trip to Argentina.
Waratahs assistant coach Simon Cron said the team had done their homework on their South American rivals.
"The key thing for us against a team like them is to play structure, so to build pressure," Cron told the Sydney Morning Herald.
"Last week against the Sharks we probably let the pressure valve off at times through our own errors or trying to offload or going that one step too far.
"I don't think we can afford to do that against these guys otherwise they'll counterattack and run it from anywhere.
"The Jaguares love unstructured ball. They'll play from anywhere, they love an offload and they're high on energy on the field.
"We want to put pressure on that guy on the ground so he can't offload but then it's about our defensive connections so when they do offload, we can shut it down. What we don't want to do is have a disconnect in our defensive line so that when they offload we leave a hole."
Previous result:
2017: Jaguares won 40-27, Sydney
Prediction: The Jaguares ran out to a 40-27 win in their only previous encounter with the Waratahs. The Jaguares have lost their last four games in a row at home; they had previously never lost more than two games in a row on home turf. The Waratahs are winless in their last seven games outside Australia, failing to pick up a single competition point in five of those matches. The Jaguares have missed 109 tackles in just three games so far this campaign, more than any other team. Michael Hooper has crossed for a try in each of his two games for the Waratahs this season, and has missed just three of 25 tackle attempts in that time. It is a tough call as neither team has been consistent, so you don't really know what to expect. We feel the Waratahs might sneak this one – by five points.
Jaguares: 15 Joaquin Tuculet, 14 Bautista Delguy, 13 Matias Orlando, 12 Santiago Gonzalez Iglesias, 11 Emiliano Boffelli, 10 Nicolas Sanchez, 9 Gonzalo Bertranou, 8 Javier Ortega Desio, 7 Marcos Kremer, 6 Pablo Matera, 5 Tomas Lavanini, 4 Matias Alemanno, 3 Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro, 2 Agustin Creevy, 1 Felipe Arregui.
Replacements: 16 Julian Montoya, 17 Santiago Garcia Botta, 18 Juan Pablo Zeiss, 19 Guido Petti Pagadizaval, 20 Juan Manuel Leguizamon, 21 Felipe Ezcurra, 22 Joaquin Diaz Bonilla, 23 Sebastian Cancelliere.
15 Israel Folau, 14 Alex Newsome, 13 Lalakai Foketi, 12 Kurtley Beale, 11 Curtis Rona, 10 Bernard Foley, 9 Jake Gordon, 8 Jed Holloway, 7 Michael Hooper (captain), 6 Michael Wells, 5 Tom Staniforth, 4 Ned Hanigan, 3 Paddy Ryan, 2 Damien Fitzpatrick, 1 Tom Robertson.

Family Promise of North Idaho will host the 10th annual overnight Cardboard Box City event on Friday Sept. 22 at Community United Methodist Church, 1470 W. Hanley Ave., Coeur d�Alene.
Check-in begins at 3 p.m. Friday and check-out is 8 a.m. Saturday morning.
Families, church groups, youth groups, businesses or individuals are invited to participate. Registration forms are available at www.familypromiseni.org, at the Family Promise North Idaho Day Center, 501 E. Wallace Ave., Coeur d�Alene, or in the foyer of bankcda in Hayden.
Cardboard Box City fundraising supports Family Promise North Idaho and is done by the participants who are asked to give a donation and to accept donations to support the nonprofit that provides assistance to homeless families.
Participants are asked to bring cardboard and design a box shelter to spend the night in. They also stand in a soup line for dinner and brave the elements to experience a little of what homeless children and families do every night in North Idaho.
The evening of the event there will be entertainment, food, testimonials, a drawing for a bicycle, prizes, and comradery around the campfires.
Community members who don�t spend the night can also participate. For a donation of $5, visitors to the Cardboard Box City can enjoy some soup, listen to the entertainment and talk to Family Promise volunteers.

Stanford Lab Explores Fundamental Nature of Cancer Using Mass Spectrometry
Stanford University Chemistry Department's Zarelab is pioneering an innovative and multidisciplinary approach to understanding more deeply the biochemical processes related to how cancer begins and progresses. By combining sophisticated analysis at the molecular level using transgenic animal models and cell samples, desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry imaging, and statistical modeling, it is producing new insights about the relationship between metabolic patterns and oncogene expression.
In a research paper recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, it was reported that in mouse lymphoma there were marked differences in the lipid profiles of the cancer cells when the oncogene MYC or the oncogene RAS was overexpressed. Interestingly, similar patterns were observed in human lymphomas that had MYC overexpression. This work also reported the presence of lipids with more double bonds in tissue samples with MYC overexpression; the enzyme in the cell that adds double bonds to the lipids is regulated by MYC.
This work is giving us deep insight into how different types of cancer are making themselves apparent through the resulting distribution of lipid molecules," states lab director Richard N. Zare, the Marguerite Blake Wilbur Professor in Natural Science, and a board member of the Camille & Henry Dreyfus Foundation. "This information also suggests possible new targets for cancer treatment."
How it works
A chemical map is made by bombarding tissue samples with droplets that dissolve fat molecules called lipids and other cell metabolites. The resulting splash of smaller droplets enters a mass spectrometer where the mass of each dissolved compound can be determined. Hundreds of different molecules are identified and a sophistical statistical analysis is used to find which molecules are different in tumors versus normal tissue. Cancers usually arise from a small number of mutations in small segments of DNA, which are called oncogenes. This study uses genetically engineered animals in which different oncogenes can be turned on and off. As a consequence it is possible to identify which lipids are associated with which types of oncogenes.
The mass spectrometry technique used is the brainchild of R. Graham Cooks, the Henry Bohn Hass Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at Purdue University, and the winner of the 2013 Dreyfus Prize from the Camille & Henry Dreyfus Foundation. Cooks, a pioneer in the field of mass spectrometry in which contents of a sample are identified by turning its molecules into ions and measuring their mass, developed the ambient ionization technique allowing samples to be tested in the air or directly on a surface, and created opportunities for new applications, eliminating the need for mass spectrometry samples to be chemically manipulated.
Primary researcher Livia S. Eberlin, a postdoctoral scholar in chemistry, conducted the research under Zare's direction. The interdisciplinary team for the study included oncologist Professor Dean Felsher of the Stanford School of Medicine who developed the animal models and statistician Professor Rob Tibshirani of the Stanford School of Humanities and Science who developed the algorithms for data analysis.
Eberlin, who joined Cooks' research team in 2008 at Purdue as a graduate student, led the design and testing of a tool that used this technique in the operating room to characterize the type and grade of brain cancer and detect boundaries between healthy and cancerous brain tissue. When finishing as a graduate student, Eberlin and Cooks won the American Chemical Society's Nobel Laureate Signature Award for Graduate Education in Chemistry. She was recently selected as one of five scientists to receive the 2014 L'Oreal USA for Women in Science Fellowship and also has been named as one of the top 30 researchers under age 30 by Forbes magazine.
The Zarelab is now investigating how various metabolic patterns are found in different tumors, specifically in skin, lung, prostate, pancreatic and kidney cancers. "By using mass spectrometry to directly analyze samples and detect molecular signatures that are characteristic of a cancer type and oncogene expression from biological samples," says Zare, "we expect one day to rapidly give a diagnosis and predict best treatment options for an individual."

SOLD - DEALER AD: Roksan Xerxes 20 turntable with DX2 Reference speed control, Artemiz tonearm and London Decca Ref
A reference turntable at a real world price, especially for this previously owned piece.
The Roksan Xerxes 20 is very hard to find used as it is a design that has been continuously refined over the years and is an absolute incredible performer. Most owners hang on to them for life.
This Xerxes 20 (not the "Plus" version) is in very good condition in a stunning Rosewood finish and features Roksan's Reference speed drive, Artemiz tonearm and London Decca Reference cartridge. This is an incredible package. The latest prices we had from 2016 were $7,500 for the Xerxes.20 Plus, $4,000 CAD just for the speed drive, $5,500 CAD for the Artemiz tonearm and $5,250 USD (approx. $7,200 CAD) for the London Decca Reference cartridge. Dust cover (not pictured) is included as well. This brings a replacement value of this setup slightly over $24,000 CAD.
Research the Xerxes 20 and you'll discover the following this turntable has had over the years.
Info on the speed drive:
Caspian system DX2 turntable speed control for this record playing system, uses the same motor drive PCB as that of the TMS 3 reference record player. The DX2 utilises a massive 350 VA ultra-low noise internally and externally shielded Toroidal transformer that feeds the DS1 internal DC power supply for the motor drive. Built in the Caspian M series chassis, the Xerxes speed control uses the TMS2 motor control board and the state of the art power supply DS1.5. The speed control box is fitted with a high quality mains inlet filter and matches the rest of the Caspian system. The Reference model comes with the DS1.5 power supply and has a retail of $4000.00 CAD. DS1.5 DC Power Module REFERENCE MODEL Output Voltage +26, 0, -26 Vdc Noise < 10 microvolts (ref. 1 Hz - 3 MHz) Output Impedance < 0.01 Ohm (ref. 20 Hz - 20 kHz)
Note: on the front picture of the speed drive, you'll notice something "that seems" loose by the 33/45 and on/off buttons. That's actually the protective plastic which has never been removed. Remove that thin film of plastic and underneath it will look like new!
The Artemiz tonearm is still Roksan's reference tonearm and very highly regarded.
The London Decca Reference moving-iron cartridge is still in production and considered by many to still be one of the most musically involving cartridges available. This cartridge has a lot of life left in it and will give you musical enjoyment for a very long time.
Replacing this exact setup would run over $24,000 CAD. Get this previously owned setup for $9,999 and save a bundle.
Local sale would be preferred, but all the original packaging is available so it can be properly packed if needed.

Havert, Nik – The Three Keys #1 (with Paul Schultz)
The Three Keys #1 (with Paul Schultz) Now Available! $2.75
You probably know already: do you like fantasy comics? I like fantasy books, on occasion, but the comics have always left me kind of cold. Purely a personal taste, as I'm aware that most mainstream comics have at least some element of fantasy to them, and a whole bunch of them do quite well. This is the story of a battle, told from the point of view of the three main characters: a magician, a rogue and an archer. Or possibly those aren't the technical terms, I'm a bit rusty at the terminology. Anyway, the dialogue is more than a bit cheesy, but as they're all telling increasingly fantastic tales, I think that's perfectly OK. The art was great for the wacky sort of thing that they're trying to do here, but the whole thing didn't do much for me, as these comics usually don't. Still, if this is sort of thing you're into it's a pretty fun comic.

I discovered this recipe as we were overrun with over-ripe bananas and I wanted to use the blueberries that had been in our freezer for a good couple of months. These muffins turned out very moist and delicious, but I would suggest greasing a muffin tray rather than lining one with paper cases as the muffin mix for this recipe tends to stick to the paper cases. This recipe is a New Zealand Women's Weekly recipe.
- 2c flour
- 3/4c sugar
- 1t baking soda
- 1/2c milk
- 2 eggs, whisked
- 75g butter, melted
- 1/2c plain or greek yoghurt
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 3/4c blueberries
1 Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius.
2 Sift flour and sugar into a bowl and make a well in the centre.
3 Dissolve baking soda in milk, then combine with eggs and melted butter.
4 Pour milk mixture, yoghurt, bananas and blueberries into the flour mixture and gently mix until combined.
5 Spoon mixture into a 12 hole muffin tray and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden and cooked through.

to be angry or hostile for no reason
by lola May 22, 2004
(verb) To create hostility in others, causing them to attack you. This is frequently seen in MMOG's (massively-multiplayer online games) when a player draws the attention of one or more hostile NPC's (non-player characters) and is attacked by them. Also seen is the "chain agro", where the hostile NPC who was agroed causes the next nearest NPC to also agro on the player, setting up a chain reaction.
"Stay against the left wall to avoid agroing the goblins." "Look at that idiot, he just ran ahead and agroed the whole room."

The name of Wander's--the main character--horse in Shadow of the Colossus, significant if only because the AI engine that dictates his behavior is, by far, one of the most complex and realistic animal behavior engines to date. The horse is not without its eccentrics, however, and is prone to rather confusing responses when you issue him commands.
On foot, it will take forever to reach this Colossus. Riding Agro might reduce that time by half if I can ever get him to come over here!

New car based on Note
The sub-compact Versa hatchback will receive a fresh new look that takes design cues from the new Nissan Note, sold in Japan and other overseas markets.
According to Nissan, the Note, which goes on sale in Japan in September and in Europe in 2013, offers hints about the design direction for the next Versa hatchback. Both are based on the company's global V-platform, but the Versa will embrace features tailored to its markets, including the US, Canada, Mexico and Brazil. More details about the future Versa hatchback will be available closer to its launch.
The Versa leads Japanese subcompact sales in Canada with 7,014 units as thus far in 2012, outselling the Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris and Mazda 2. The second-generation Nissan Versa sedan was introduced last year.

Illinois School May be Used as a Residential Treatment Center
Aetna Elementary School, valued at $285,610, appears headed for the auction block and possible reincarnation as a residential treatment center for troubled teens.
The 68,000-square-foot building has been closed and idle since 2004.
However, five school leaders expressed support this week for psychologist Ronald Ruff's long-held dream of creating a transitional facility in Lake County for troubled youth at the school.
It would serve 50 to 60 troubled teens, who've become wards of the state due to criminal problems or problems at home.
Why a Residential Treatment Center is a Good Move
"Vacant facilities can become an eyesore in our community as well as a financial burden," said School Board President Nellie Moore in backing the sale.
"It's really a win-win for everyone."
Past Plans for Opening Treatment Centers
Since 2005, Ruff's residential treatment center plans have been turned away in Hobart, Merrillville, and Lowell, after vigorous protests from residents.
Why a Residential Treatment Center is Needed
Ruff wants the center in Gary at the 1301 Arizona St. school site to stop regional children from being sent to faraway residential treatment centers in places like Nevada and Colorado.
"We could serve children in Lake County much better than we are doing now," said Ruff, who estimates 300-plus county wards are sent out of state for transitional services.
"We certainly do not want to totally disconnect (children) from their families even though there are challenges in their lives," said School Board member Michael Scott.
So Far No Opposition to the Treatment Center
No Gary residents have so far opposed the Aetna location.
School Board member Alex Wheeler Jr. sent 700 letters to District 1 residents, and none has complained, he said.
Ruff, who failed to snag city approval to turn Spaulding Elementary School into a treatment facility in 2006, has the support of not only school trustees now, but also Superintendent Mary Steele-Agee and Mayor Rudy Clay.
"The need, of course, is there in more than one area," Clay said. "It would bring young people closer to their families ... (which can) bring about the healing," the mayor said.
Other Benefits offered by a Treatment Center
Supporters say the center can offer about 30 jobs, money for the school district, a tax-paying business and a positive environment for troubled kids.
Ruff has already agreed to pay full price. The proceeds would be at least $285,910, which includes $300 in advertising costs. The money would be put in Gary schools' general fund.
Wheeler said the board must agree to advertise an auction, which is the fastest way the state will allow the transfer of such property.
He said he couldn't support the Spaulding plan in 2006 because it was too close to Emerson school. He thinks the Aetna residential neighborhood is better suited.
If Ruff can get the property deed, he must still obtain special exception from the city's Board of Zoning and Appeals.
He'd also need state licensure.
Ruff said the center, which he plans to remodel so that it is state-of-the-art with a gym, auditorium and living quarters, will be well-staffed, locked and secure. No wards will be "dangerous" or accused of violent crimes.

In Rob Camm's academic English class for juniors, students were slated to read Sherwood Anderson's 1919 book "Winesburg, Ohio" but Camm was so impressed by "The Tortilla Curtain" that he swapped the two.
He was not sorry — the book was a hit with his students.
"It's engaging and the kids read it," the Santa Rosa High teacher said.
T.C. Boyle's "The Tortilla Curtain" has made news in recent weeks as the Santa Rosa School Board considered a complaint by a parent that the book is too sexually graphic and racially offensive to be taught in the classroom.
The seven-member school board disagreed and kept the book on the district's long list of classroom reading from which teachers can select titles. "The Tortilla Curtain," published in 1995, also is on the state Department of Education's approved reading list.
"For me, it was more interesting than most of the books because I could put myself in their place," said Aracely Cebreros, a junior at Santa Rosa High. "Racism against Latinos is a big thing here and if more people could understand, there is more of a chance that people could relate to it."
Cebreros said she was more unnerved by the bestselling "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini than "The Tortilla Curtain."
Boyle's book tells the intersecting stories of Kyra and Delaney Mossbacher and America and Candido Rincon. The Rincons cross the border illegally and struggle to establish their American dream before their child is born, while the Mossbachers bicker about building a neighborhood wall as a way to preserve what is theirs.
The Rincons dig in trash cans and eat sardines from the tin for sustenance while the Mossbachers debate the wall while eating tofu and oyster mushrooms.
"There are not 50 pages of pornography in this book but there are several sections that are bracing," Camm said, adding that parent concerns about the text "are not unreasonable.
"That is why you have the option for parents to say no," he said of district policy that allows students to read alternate texts without penalty.
But that policy is not fair to all students, said parent Brian Flinn, who has a son at Montgomery High.
"What about that shy kid who doesn't want to say anything?," he said. "I'm defending someone I don't even know, a child who may not be as outgoing as my son is. I don't think that is fair, with peer pressure."
Jazmine Whitlock, who graduated from Montgomery and is now studying French at Santa Rosa Junior College, urged the school board last month to pull the book from classroom discussions.
She credited her high school teachers with being able to lead discussions on sensitive topics, but said "The Tortilla Curtain" is too much for younger readers.
And opting out creates a whole new set of issues, she said.
"I was in high school last year and it is a huge deal to not go with the crowd and be the black sheep and kids are really, really mean," she said. "You would have to feel so strong about the book."
Camm expressed concern that to pull "The Tortilla Curtain" from reading lists for its graphic scenes would open the door to a host of others — many of which are considered classics.

Superman, Black Widow, El Muerto, Fantastic Four: January 19th Comic Reel Wrap
Actor Hugh Laurie seems excited about being cast as Perry White …
despite having little idea what that will entail. He spoke to Now Playing Magazine about how secretive the
suits at Warner were about the production. "I have to read it in a
room with an armed security guard," he says. "They're terrified.
These things get on the Internet." "'Goddamn it, Clark. Where were
you?' will be my life," Laurie theorized. "That's all I know. You
know as much as I do now."
Comics Continuum talked to screenwriter David
Hayter, who said that the Black Widow movie should go into production
this year. "I am handing in my script for Black Widow to Lion's Gate
this month, and understand that they want to get into production
right away," Hayter said. "I am directing this one." Hayter also
had a hand in the latest draft of the "Iron Man" script, now
featuring Nick Cassavetes as director, and Paul Greengrass is set to
direct Hayter's script for "Watchmen."
TV actor Wilmer Valderrama spoke with Now Playing Magazine about taking on the title
role in the independent comic-book adaptation. Valderrama describes
the project as "The Crow meets Desperado meets Spawn" and said it's
unlike anything he's ever done before. "It's an odd choice for me,
but I love making those," he said. "It's presented in such an odd,
hardcore, rad way. It's very Robert Rodriguez. It's very, very hard.
It's a beautiful story told through the eyes of this young guy who's
sacrificed in the name of the Aztec gods and he comes back to be a
weapon for them. And he rebels against them and asks all these
questions about religion. It has a lot of soul and it deals a lot
with religion and it deals a lot with love. It's all of these
mixtures plus a lot of heart. It's very simple, but it's more
performance-based than action-packed."
The film's official website has launched with a Flash-based
interface, photos and various downloads. The film's trailer has been
posted at Apple Computer in glorious QuickTime.
Kryptonsite weighs in with a bunch of updates today, including a new
photo showing characters Lex Luthor and Genevieve
Teague sharing a drink. They also have a scan from a recent issue of TV Guide, showing
Clarkt checking out a new pet. They also have excerpts from an interview with Kyle Gallner, the
actor who played Bart Allen on the series, who shared what he hoped
Clark would get out of the encounter. "I think Bart helps Clark
out," Gallner said. "In the sense that he accepts his powers. He goes
with it, and doesn't think that they are a curse. Clark always seems
to think that they are a problem, and I kind of told him to lighten
up a bit!"
The site also notes that "playing brothers Zack and Josh Greenfield
will be Nolan Funk and Diego Klattenhoff, respectively."
Finally, at both Kryptonsite and Devoted to Smallville, there's spoilers galore
for the season's sixteenth episode, "Lucy."

adaptations or just want to give us a briefcase full of cash, no
